Suppose it kept me on my toes for a bit??? Bit savage??? Could’ve been told at a faster pace for defo, she was irritating and then he became irritating at the very end??? Wasn’t sure they’d learned anything tbh

When [Instagram influencer] "Instamum" Emmy starts to really make it big on social media, her life starts slowly spiraling out of control. She thinks she has it all figured out: the follower count, the timed posts, the #ads, even the dreaded algorithm. What she doesn't know is that there is one person who is following her a little too closely, slowly plotting her demise, and she will stop at nothing to orchestrate Emmy's fall from social media royalty.

This book is definitely dark and twisty. There were some plot twists that I kind of saw, but a good handful of them I didn't quite figure out. I liked hearing from three individuals' points of view. I didn't really like Emmy's character, although maybe we weren't supposed to? She was a bit too contrived and cringe-y for me, for lack of a better term. I think it's because often I find influencers in real life to be this way, so it just translated over to the book. The authors did a great job of portraying that influencer attitude, though, so props to them. This book makes you really consider the dangers of a constant online presence, which is something that nearly everyone nowadays can relate to.
